The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the 'Superbike' boom in the 1970s and never a company to rest on its laurels, Honda's crowning glory of the era was the amazing six-cylinder CBX1000, still one of the few 6-cylinder motorcycles ever produced. Introduced in 1986 the V-four VFR750F featured gear-driven cams and has become one of Honda’s most respected models, forming the basis of many World Championship and TT-winning bikes including the classic RC30 race replica.
This VFR750FJ, being offered at 'no reserve', has been part of a private collection that is now being sold to make way for other projects. It is presented in standard trim, still fitted with a genuine Honda 'HMML7M' stamped four-into-two exhaust system and its original colour-matched single-seat converter. Offred with a current V5C, the bike has not run for a while, so it will need recommissioning before use.
